Efficient Processing of Plastic Waste
Plastic waste comes in many shapes and forms: from films, bottles, trays, and crates to production waste such as rolls and tubes. Each type of plastic requires a suitable processing approach. BOA Recycling provides comprehensive solutions for processing plastic waste from household, commercial, and industrial sources.
Plastic waste from household and commercial sources
Plastic waste from households and businesses is often lightweight, bulky, and difficult to process. Especially with mixed plastics, the right technology is crucial for a stable processing operation.
BOA’s M-Series and D-Series balers are designed for this type of material. Thanks to their robust construction, high baling force, and smart bale channel control, they process plastic waste into compact, stable bales suitable for transport or further processing.
Suitable for, among other things:
Films
Bottles
Trays
Crates
Mixed plastic waste
Constant Feed with a Bag Opener
Is plastic waste delivered in bags? If so, the BOA bag opener ensures an efficient and constant feed of material. This helps prepare the material more effectively for further processing.
For intensive processing of PET bottles, BOA can integrate its own bottle perforator. This unit perforates the bottles, allowing them to be compressed more efficiently. The perforator is automatically turned on or off via the program.
Process benefits:
Efficient and consistent material feed
Better preparation for the compaction process
More efficient compaction of PET bottles through perforation
Automatic control via the program
Compressing into compact bales
To properly process plastic waste, it is compressed into bales by material type. This simplifies storage and logistics and reduces overall processing costs.
The goal is always the same: heavy, easily stackable bales that are ready for transport or further processing.
The benefits:
More compact storage
Simpler logistics
Lower total processing costs
Heavy and easily stackable bales
Plastic waste from production processes
Plastic waste from production processes requires a different approach than household plastic waste. Examples include film scraps, cutting waste, rejected injection-molded parts, or entire rolls.
BOA provides complete solutions for this, including roll cutters and compact horizontal balers, such as the Continette and Baseline.
Examples of production waste:
Film scraps
Trim
Rejected injection-molded parts
Complete rolls
HDPE
LDPE
From Plastic Rolls to Reusable Material
Various types of residual waste are often generated during production processes. This material is suitable for reuse, provided it is properly prepared.
Large plastic rolls are cut into manageable pieces using a roll-cutting machine. A horizontal baler then compresses the material into tight bales. These bales are ready for reuse in the company’s own process or for transport to external processors.
Which solution is right for your plastic waste?
The right solution depends on the type of plastic, the method of supply, and the intended use. BOA recommends a suitable configuration based on the material and the desired processing method.
